Abstract:Abstract. Fractography is a valuable method that uses post-mortem topographical information to estimate the stress field near the fracture origin and help establish the root cause of failures. Typically, in glass and ceramics the mirror radius is one of the features sought for by fractographers since its length could be empirically related to the sample's strength. The mirror radius is usually subjectively estimated by fractographers though microscopy measurements. Nonetheless, variations in the estimates intr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
